How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless steel liners and creosote glaze. The 316L liner in Olympia Chimney’s stainless systems holds up well, but in North Bergen’s damp, cold winters we regularly see third-degree creosote forming faster than on clay tile because the smooth steel surface cools quickly between burns. That glaze is not a brush job. We remove it with a rotary whip designed for steel liners so the surface isn’t scored, then we show you the before-and-after on camera.
• Olympia Chimney Terra Cotta flue tiles and spalling. The Terra Cotta series is a solid product, but North Bergen’s freeze-thaw cycles get water behind the tile face and cause spalling, where thin chunks flake off into the flue. During a sweep we catch that early. Left alone, spalled pieces wedge against the damper and restrict draft. We clear the blockages and tell you if the tile is still sound or needs a HeatShield resurfacing.
• Olympia Chimney caps and animal entry. The factory Olympia Chimney cap does its job, but we pull more squirrel and raccoon nests out of North Bergen chimneys than anywhere else in the county. The mesh on older Olympia Chimney caps corrodes at the seam after five or six seasons, and that opening is all a squirrel needs. We clean the nesting material out, check the cap, and replace it with a stainless cap sized to your flue, not a universal-fit piece.
• Olympia Chimney dampers and hidden soot ledges. The cast-iron top-sealing damper on Olympia Chimney systems has a ledge just above the firebox where soot collects and hardens. Most sweeps miss it because you can’t see it from below. We go up top and clean that ledge by hand during every sweep. If your fire has been sluggish or smoke backs up on cold starts, that ledge is usually the reason.
• Olympia Chimney prefab air-cooled pipe and creosote catching on seams. On North Bergen homes with Olympia Chimney’s air-cooled prefab chimney pipe, we see creosote building at the inner pipe seams first. The seam acts like a shelf in the flue. Our brushes are sized to the pipe’s interior dimension so we don’t over-scrub and damage the refractory, but we get into those seam lines thoroughly. That seam buildup is a chimney fire risk, and a standard six-inch brush from a big-box store won’t touch it.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   You call, Wendell or one of his crew answers. No call center. You describe your chimney, and we give you a straight price on the phone for a standard sweep.
2. 2
   We arrive in a uniform, on time, with a real window. If that window slips, we call you. Before we start, we walk the chimney with you so you know what we’re looking at.
3. 3
   We sweep from the firebox up and the crown down. For Olympia Chimney systems, that means hand-cleaning the damper ledge, brushing the full flue, and clearing the smoke shelf. All brushes are sized to your pipe or tile dimension.
4. 4
   Camera inspection goes in. Every Olympia Chimney sweep includes a camera look at the full flue. You see the footage. We explain it in plain English, not scare words.
5. 5
   If something needs fixing, we price it before we touch it. We use Olympia Chimney factory parts when the warranty matters. When a quality aftermarket part does the same job cheaper, we tell you that too. Your call.
6. 6
   We leave it clean, we test the draft, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise goes on the invoice in writing. If something’s not right, one call brings us back at no charge.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Costs in North Bergen

Here’s what North Bergen homeowners can expect to pay for Olympia Chimney cleaning and sweep work with us:

• Standard sweep and Level 1 inspection: $189-$289, depending on flue height and whether we’re cleaning a single flue or an oil furnace liner too.
• Sweep with Level 2 camera inspection: $299-$399. The camera goes in every time, but the Level 2 adds the full written report you’ll need for insurance or a home sale in North Bergen.
• Creosote glaze removal (third-degree): $150-$250 on top of the standard sweep, depending on how bad the glaze is. We’ll show you the footage first and tell you if it can wait.
• Soot ledge cleaning and damper service: $75-$150 when it’s not part of the standard sweep. This is the ledge we talked about above, the one most sweeps miss.

What moves the price: flue height, how many years since the last cleaning, and whether there’s an animal nest in there. The number you hear on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (848) 361-3227 for a free exact quote.
